...Invisible Seen. Last week, in a decision that stunned lawyers on both sides with its bold and unexpected reaches, a four-man Supreme Court majority (Warren, Brennan, Black and Douglas)† overruled Judge LaBuy. Completely bypassing the Government's main charges-that Du Pont had violated the 1890 Sherman Act by fencing off the G.M. market from Du Font's competitors-the court based its decision on Section 7 of the 1914 Clayton Act, to which Government lawyers had devoted only six pages of their 100-page brief and only perfunctory oral argument. Section 7 bars a corporation...
...town. Police Chief Joe Spinelli refused, instead persuaded them to cancel a scheduled parade. Spinelli telephoned the Calaveras County sheriff for reinforcements, moved his seven men to the town's edge to join arriving officers in a show of force. The power play was effective. Hoodlums sprawling along Main Street found themselves suddenly pinned between 30-odd policemen walking quietly into town from the south and 14 carloads of state highway patrolmen rolling in from the north. The cops wrote 300 tickets for defective motorcycles and improper licenses, arrested all who protested, quickly jammed the tiny ivy-covered Angels...
...A.M.A. pitched its camp in the fair grounds just outside town. The hoodlums, their waists girdled by metal chains and their leather jackets emblazoned with gang names-Vampires, Huns, Tartars-parked their cycles on Main Street and tossed their bedrolls beside Angels Camp's bubbling trout stream. Then they took over the community. They bought all the beer in town (100 cases), buzzed over to neighboring Altaville for more, and for wine. They guzzled fast, tossed empty cans and bottles into gutters. Residents soon found drunks stretched in their doorways. A group trailed a town girl; while one yelled...
...Dead." One motorcyclist roared down Main Street with a wine-swilling companion on his shoulders; another stood on the saddle of his speeding motorcycle and drained a bottle. Others spaced beer cans along the street, wove in and out on their cycles in an impromptu slalom race; soon the steeliest of the girls stood beside the cans as markers. An Angels Camp policeman darted into the street to pick up the beer cans, retreated amid hoots and catcalls when a cyclist buzzed him. Other gangs organized drag races, reached 50 m.p.h. from standing starts. Some settled for simple horseplay...
...High Road. Despite an army announcement that it planned to mop up Castro's revolt within a week, Batista's troops moved with a caution bordering on ineffectiveness. Army troops patrolled the main roads leading into the mountains, but footpaths remained open. Castro's couriers walked in and out of Santiago de Cuba, capital of Oriente, without interference...
